They say that there is no democracy in the USA, that the ruling class always engineer who wins the elections. This seems to be the most blatantly engineered election of them all. The ruling class wanted Hillary as she was the best to serve their interest at this time, so they ensured that there was no credible republican alternative. This left the problem of Sanders, but the Democrat's party machine can be manipulated to sort that one out. Corruption, backhanders, return of old favours, bribes, dirty tricks, and you name it. This is dead easy for the ruling class.
